Something Cool
Jazz Audiophile - LP T 516 Cisco
Sealed 2005 Limited Edition 180gm HQ Mono Reissue Featuring Beautiful Replica Turquoise Labels. Although It Was June Christy's Exuberent Vocals That Helped To Make Stan Kenton's 1945 Jukebox Classic "Tampico" A Swinging Hit, It Was Her 1954 Song About A Lonely Girl Looking For A Cool Drink On A Hot Summer Day That Brought The Name June Christy To The Attention Of Jazz Lovers. June Didn't Exactly Invent Cool Jazz, Just As Elvis Didn't Exactly Invent Rockabilly, But With A Song Perfectly Crafted To Her Seductive And Unique Style, She Will Always Be Remembered For The Song And The Album With The Same Name. She Wasn't The First Lady To Sing A Cool Song, But She Was The Best! Mastered At Acoustech By Kevin Gray.... more details

Cool School
Jazz Used - LP ST 1398 Capitol
Mint, Unplayed 1960 Full Dimensional Stereo Original (Logo On Side Of Label) From The Collection Of A Capitol Record Exec. “The Cool School Remains The Most Complex And Contradictory Album In The June Christy Catalog: A Collection Of Children's Music Crafted Without Sentimentality Or Saccharine, It Brilliantly Articulates The Confusion, Isolation, And Yearning That Form The Core Of Childhood Experience. Equally Surprising, The Arrangements Are The Most Direct And Unadorned Of Christy's Career, Eschewing Horns And Cotton-Candy Fluff To Focus Squarely On Her Crisp, Nimble Vocals And The Joe Castro Quartet's Driving Rhythms. Familiar Songs Like "Swinging On A Star" And "Looking For A Boy" Are Stripped Of Artifice To Recapture Their Innate Power And Mystery. In Short, The Cool School Celebrates The Intelligence Of Children, And Refuses To Pander To Audiences Of Any Age.” Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide.... more details

Off Beat
Jazz Used - LP ST 1498 Capitol
First Copy We Have Ever Had In Stock Of This Beautiful 1961 Full Dimensional Stereo Original. Appears Unplayed. “As Its Title States, On This Album June Christy Does Indeed Sing A Lot Of Offbeat Tunes, With The Only Standards Being Harold Arlen's "Out Of This World," His "A Sleepin' Bee," And "You Say You Care." Pete Rugolo's Typically Unusual And Surprising Arrangements Inspire The Singer And Make This A Fairly Memorable (If Not Famous) Outing. Christy's Renditions Of "The Bad And The Beautiful" And "Out Of The Shadows" Also Stick In One's Mind. She Was Still Very Much In Her Prime During This Period And Her Collaborations With Pete Rugolo Brought Out The Best In Her Voice And Musical Talents.” Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.... more details
